Grandpa Chuck Playing With the Twins @ Their 1st B-Day Party

Sidney Jess 1

My little Sidney is a funny girl. One day she was roaming around trying to find something other than her toys to play with. She found the diaper bag & new what to do. She put that strap on her shoulder & tried crawling around so we found a little purse her & Sarah could play with & Sidney just loves putting that purse on her shoulder. She is so cute playing at her kitchen set with her purse.

Sarah Bess 1

My sweet Sarah is a loving baby & a garbage disposal. She will put anything in her mouth. I found some small white piece of paper in her mouth & then later Eddie found a Made In China sticker in her mouth! She is a curious George too. Her & Sidney love to follow all of us around & see what we are into. They like opening & closing doors and love to play in their room. We have their room fixed up now with their toys so they can play in there instead of in the living room. Of course, they always come to visit us though.

Samantha Marie 7

Samantha has been going to the orthodonist for the past year & we have her straightened out. She had an underbite, but no longer. Her smile was always awesome, but just looks sweeter now. She has enjoyed playing soccer & we love watching. Samantha is also doing well in school. Samantha has been writing and illustrating a book. She would like to be published one day. I told her I wanted the first book & she had to autograph it for me.

Shelby Ruthlyn 9

Shelby changes for classes this year. In social studies, she will learn about the state of OH all year. Boy, got to hurry up & get this kids back to TN! LOL! She has already had a couple of quizzes & did great! She also cheered her first game on Sunday, 09/07. I said it was the first time Eddie watched cheerleaders more than the football players during a game. And although her hair is long here, she just got it cut a couple of weeks ago. Very fashionable. She picked the cut out. We have to style it each morning, but looks great on her. Ed says this is her last year when her age will be in single digits. I just want to cherish this entire year!

Almost One Year Later!

Yes, it really has been a long time since I have posted. Have been busy though. Shelby is now 9 and is in the 4th grade. She is also playing soccer again this year & is on the junior varsity cheerleading squad. Samantha will be 8 in Dec and is in the 2nd grade. She is playing soccer for the first time this year. Sarah and Sidney are now one. They both are still learning to walk. They stand up & take steps, but have not taken off yet. They love to eat and play with all their sisters. We also have news. Sounds like we are moving back to TN. Ed has accepted the position of Project Manager. He will work with a team that will install an encryption software on laptops at Air Force bases in the United States. This will require Eddie to travel Mon - Thurs, but it means he could live where ever he wishes. We have made the decision to move back to TN so I could get help with all these children. There is an opening at our Humboldt plant, which I started at 8 years ago. I should know soon if I will be relocating or if I am not offered the position, I have decided to be a stay at home mom b/c either way we are coming back home!
